He'll appear on Raw tomorrow night. WWE loved that year long build up to WM28.

Yeah, probably. Who would he face though? Cody Rhodes is who I would want to see, but it would probably be Punk or Orton.

Wasn't there. Rumors going around he signed a 1 yrs contract per wrestling Observer which is pretty accurate rumor site for wrestling rumors but other then that people are just speculating when a return might come about, that he already signed a contract today or yesterday, the amount of yrs on the deal, who he might face, etc. Nothing really has been confirmed by WWE or Lesnar obviously. I do know the guy who plays Albert from the Test and Albert T&A tag team is signed and he's suppose to be one of Lauranitis big "goon" type guys apparently.

I'm thinking more of along the lines of Undertaker, Cena or Rock. Rock and Cena are suppose to do Summerslam remember too. Though considering Undertaker can only do one match per year it seems it'd be perfect for Lesnar and Undertaker. Undertaker was the big feud that built Lesnar into the popularity he has today Lesnar doesn't want a full time schedule going back to actual wrestling so this would perfect. Plus Lesnar vs Undertaker at MetLife Stadium will definitely sell seats. Considering how close it is and my Uncle living in NYC I may grab my buddy and go next year to Wrestlemania possible.

I sincerely hope that I don't have to see Taker struggle that badly in the ring again. Let the man retire.

He really wasn't struggling. He was just playing the act of being beaten down. Had he been struggling he would have been helped off I believe. I really liked the Shaved head/semi Mohawk look he had. I think that look would have been much better for his character back in the day. He looked like he was in pretty good shape as well. One thing Mark can do is play the struggling really well of his character.

BTW apparently Vince doesn't like when people ask him about <The American Badass Undertaker. He apparently hated it and considering how popular the Undert

He lost a ton of mobility, let's be honest. Plus, wasn't this supposed to be both his and Triple H's last match?

I have a feeling it would be Orton or Punk. Neither have much in the way of a feud or storyline after WM28 now. I just read that he was being brought in to possibly face Undertaker in WM29, which would be possibly Undertaker's final match.

Yeah he's lost a lot of mobility but I think he was playing more of how bad he was then he really was this time. It was rumored it was possible it but if it was Undertakers last match ever I would assume they would've had some type of ceremony for him already. I think it may have been HHHs last match so he can handle WWE personal duties and I think he's going to become a GM at some point again.

I think that was the end of HHH as a steady performer. He may appear in the ring occasionally, but the game is basically over. I think The Undertaker has one more WM in him, then it's so long to him too. He's 2 years younger than Jamie Moyer.........

I said it before Wrestlemania, Jericho-Punk was going to steal the show and it did. In order, for me, it probably went:

Jericho-Punk
Taker-HHH
Rock-Cena

My quick thoughts:

- I hope when they looked at the sea of people who supported Daniel Bryan before the match started that someone realized just how big of a mistake they had made.

- Orton-Kane was a decent Raw match that I couldn't care less about on Wrestlemania.

- A valiant attempt to destroy the credibility of the IC title by giving it to someone who destroyed the credibility of the U.S. Title 8 years ago.

- Women wrestled. The champ got pinned by a celebrity. Worst first hour of a Wrestlemania that I can remember.

- Glad the show picked up in that HIAC match. Brilliant emotional psychology, which became an underlying theme for the rest of the show. Terrific stuff. Better than their first one, which was great as well.

- Solid 12-man tag. Remember kids: When you're in wrestling, never get over with the fans by doing something yourself. Ryder eating the pin was too predictable.

- Where HHH-Taker had emotional psychology, Punk-Jericho had mental psychology. And like the HIAC, it worked in brilliant fashion. MOTN from a pure wrestling standpoint, and just incredible back-and-forth. It built very well, gave you the right false-finishes, then ended with a terrific bit of psychology with Punk positioning himself away from Jericho's knees. I could watch that match many times.

- Geez.....Never saw that finish coming. Good match. Off-the-charts electricity. Unexpected yet brilliant finish with, again, great psychology. Cena cared more about embarrassing The Rock, like he had during their promos together, than trying to win the match at that moment. And like a legend would, Rock capitalized.

B+ for me. Would have been at least an A- to an A if they gave Sheamus-Bryan time to work, regardless of the result. They both deserved better.

By the way, I called my momma. Had no choice. That was awesome.

The Rock pulled off more moves in the first 5 minutes then Cena pulled the whole match (not counting his mocking of Rock's moves).

A source close to Lesnar has said he has signed with WWE. No details on contract of how much he'll make (He'll make a ton of money), will most likely debut tonight and if not near future, believes it's a 1 year deal, will only do the required amount of app but WWE won't ask him to do anymore, you'll see him on TV more then you think and Dana White has no worries about Lesnar returning. Said he'd be happy if he went back and wouldn't be shocked if he did.

Also Albert Del Rio is suppose to return and Lord Sensi (AKA Matt Bloom who is a return under a new character) is suppose to possible debut tonight.
